R839 Discovery Miles 8 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Inpatient units treat some of the most clinically challenging psychiatric patients. Clinicians must carefully balance patients' rights with safety concerns of violence and suicide. This updated manual is compact and practical, addressing the common questions and issues clinicians face in day-to-day practice. Chapters are organised around the diagnoses found on inpatient psychiatric units, allowing readers to find their area of interest quickly. A user-friendly question and answer format anticipates commonly asked questions, and tables provide easily accessible information, including diagnostic criteria and medication effects. Incorporating advances in the field over the past decade, chapters review new treatments including ketamine use and chronotherapy, as well as the most recent evidence-based approaches for patients with borderline personality disorder. Drawing on the authors' wealth of experience, their recommendations for best practice as well as treatment philosophies will be valuable for all healthcare professionals working in mental health.

R1,765 Discovery Miles 17 650 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Le situazioni critiche in medicina d'urgenza e in terapia intensiva rappresentano una tra le sfide piu difficili nella pratica clinica. La natura stessa dell'ambiente di cura, l'incertezza, il rischio elevato, i tempi ristretti e lo stress, rendono queste discipline particolarmente vulnerabili agli errori nella gestione dei pazienti. Nell'ultimo decennio e diventato sempre piu evidente, che la capacita di erogare trattamenti sicuri in queste circostanze dipende da un'approfondita conoscenza dei meccanismi all'origine dell'errore umano. Questo volume, che e la traduzione italiana della seconda edizione di Crisis Management in Acute Care Settings, propone una rassegna originale e completa di tutti i problemi correlati ai fattori umani, rilevanti per la sicurezza dei pazienti durante l'erogazione di trattamenti urgenti. Le energie di medici e psicologi si sono mescolate in un testo facilmente accessibile, che aiutera i medici e altri professionisti della salute a comprendere meglio i principi del comportamento umano e del processo decisionale nelle situazioni critiche, per evitare errori e garantire un trattamento piu sicuro ai loro pazienti.

R2,180 Discovery Miles 21 800 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Widely varying patient needs, a wide provider mix, significant power differentials, and a heightened emotional state all contribute to barriers in communication in the medical field and all of these elements are magnified in an emergency department. Communication in Emergency Medicine highlights key challenges to effective communication in Emergency Medicine that may be experienced by healthcare providers, students, nurses, and even hospital administrators. The text addresses these pitfalls by demonstrating how a mix of foundational communication techniques and leadership skills can be used to successfully overcome barriers in information exchange highlighted by real-life clinical scenarios with an emphasis on avoidable pitfalls. Chapters explore principles of communication, patient and family interactions, and communications within and outside of the healthcare system, rounding off with a number of case studies. The approach of utilizing the environment of an emergency department with high stakes conflicts faced every day by medical professionals distinguishes Communication in Emergency Medicine as an ideal resource for Emergency Medicine providers, with lessons which can also be applied in many other settings as well.

The Management of Head Injuries - A Practical Guide for the Emergency room (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition): David Currie The Management of Head Injuries - A Practical Guide for the Emergency room (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)
David Currie
R3,072 Discovery Miles 30 720 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Head injuries are commonplace. Though most patients survive, the consequences, both physical and social, can be devastating. The methods of initial assessment and management can have a crucial effect on determining the outcome of the injury, and long-term effects. However, only a minority of head-injured patients are cared for by Neurosurgeons. The majority are seen by non-specialists, often junior doctors and nurses, and treated in district hospitals where specialist neurosurgical assistance is unavailable. As a guide for doctors and nurses working in the A & E department, or the Orthopaedic or General Surgical Ward, the emphasis of this book is on the early management of the head- injured patient. New to the second edition are chapters on managing the 'disturbed' head injured patient, a chapter of special value to nurses (who often have to deal with this difficult task). A new chapter on anaesthesia and head injuries has also been added, with other chapters significantly revised to reflect the crucial role played by anaesthetists in head injury management. Providing practical advice on the early treatment of minor head injuries, and the management of major head injuries, the book provides advice that will be essential in ensuring effective treatment of these patients. From reviews of first edition: '... an excellent account of the management of head injuries... this one certainly fulfils its stated aim and is to be recommended.' JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGY, NEUROSCIENCE, AND PSYCHIATRY '... concise and well-referenced... a worthwhile addition to an A& E department's bookshelves.' NURSING TIMES 'The text is easy to read, and is of particular use to non-specialist staff... Useful as an introduction for junior neurosurgeons in training.'

On the battlefield, seconds count. PHTLS: Prehospital Trauma Life Support, Military Ninth Edition teaches and reinforces the principles of rapidly assessing a trauma patient using an orderly approach, immediately treating life-threatening problems as they are identified, and minimizing any delays in initiating transport to an appropriate destination. Developed by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) in cooperation with the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ASC-COT), PHTLS, the Military Ninth Edition reflects current, evidence-based knowledge and practice, and promotes critical-thinking as the foundation for providing quality care. Since 1996, Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) has improved the care rendered in combat prehospital environments. TCCC is the battlefield prehospital component of the Joint Trauma System, an organization within the Department of Defense that projects combat trauma care out to the point of injury and continues that care seamlessly while bringing the casualty home for recuperation and rehabilitation. TCCC guidelines are continuously revised and updated by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (Co-TCCC), an all-volunteer group of military medicine and trauma care specialists. The membership of Co-TECC includes combat medics, corpsmen, and pararescuemen as well as physicians and physician assistants. PHTLS: Prehospital Trauma Life Support, Military Ninth Edition is the next step in the evolution of the premier global prehospital trauma education program, a partnership between PHTLS and TCCC that goes back to the fourth edition of this manual. Military Ninth Edition continues the shared mission to promote excellence in trauma care by all providers and in all environments. In addition to the PHTLS core content, it features thirteen chapters written by military prehospital trauma care experts for practitioners in the military environment. Military Ninth Edition includes: Scenario - An opening case study that presents the key concepts of the chapter in a realistic patient or casualty care situation that encourages the participant to ask, "What would I do?" Key Terms - All key terms that appear in the Glossary are highlighted within the chapters. Engaging Art Program - The Military Ninth Edition features photos and illustrations that depict the realities of battlefield prehospital care. Summary - A list of the key concepts of the chapter. Scenario Solution - A discussion on how the patient or casualty in the opening scenario is assessed and treated in the field or on the battlefield and during transport.

Jim Wardrope, Bryan English
R3,822 Discovery Miles 38 220 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Musculo-skeletal problems underlie many of the cases seen by doctors working in accident and emergency departments. It is estimated that over 4 million patients per annum will attend an A & E department in England and Wales with such a condition. Although many of these problems may be considered less serious, when compared to others seen in A & E departments, a misdiagnosis could have far reaching and even fatal consequences. It is also the area where statistically A & E doctors are most likely to make an error of diagnosis. Musculo-skeletal problems in emergency medicine provides guidelines on the history taking and examination of patients with musculo-skeletal problems. The book starts by explaining the pathology of musculo-skeletal injuries, describing the wide range of non-traumatic musculo-skeletal problems that present to an A & E department. Each section of the body is then dealt with in detail, with advice given on the management of Uspecific patient presentations. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the diagnosis of traumatic and non-traumatic injuries, and detailed guidance provided on their initial investigation, management, and ongoing referral. This book is intended for

Neurologische, neurovegetative und psychische Veranderungen nach gro- ssen Operationen oder Intensivbehandlungen weisen auf abgelaufene Stoe- rungen cerebraler Funktionen hin. Solche Veranderungen sind bei genauer Analyse keineswegs selten; sie haben ein weites Spektrum der klinischen Manifestation. Wahrend die bestmoegliche Kreislaufuberwachung unter Einbeziehung der fortlaufenden EKG-Registrierung bei Narkosen und In- tensivbehandlungen heute als selbstverstandliche Routine gilt, ist bisher die objektive und laufende Kontrolle cerebraler Funktionszustande unter den verschiedensten Einflussen von Anasthesie, Operation und Intensivmedizin nicht befriedigend geloest. Der klinischen Neurophysiologie gelingt zunehmend - vor allem durch das EEG bei visueller wie auch spektralanalytischer Auswertung - die Dar- stellung funktioneller Veranderungen als AEquivalent bzw. als Ursache klini- scher, neurologischer und psychischer Stoerungen. Von aktueller Bedeutung ist deshalb die Frage, ob anasthesiologische EEG-UEberwachung sowohl vom theoretischen Ansatz her als auch in der praktischen Durchfuhrbarkeit geeignet ist, cerebrale Stoerungen, die durch perioperative Massnahmen aus- geloest werden, fruhzeitig zu erkennen, zu deuten und hierdurch bestmoeglich zu vermeiden oder zu behandeln. Letzlieh steht dahinter die Grundfrage, inwieweit anasthesiologische Massnahmen sich am EEG-Bild orientieren und danach gesteuert werden koennen und ob eine EEG-Analy- se sowohl fur den einzelnen Patienten als auch generell fur die Wertung einer anasthesiologischen Massnahme bedeutsam ist. Diesen Fragen der Relevanz und der Praktikabilitat einer anasthesiolo- gisehen EEG-UEberwachung wird in diesem Buch nachgegangen. Grundla- ge hierfur ist die Analyse von uber 1500 durchgefuhrten EEG-Ableitungen im anasthesiologisch-chirurgischen bzw. -gynakologischen Krankengut.

Nick Jones
R3,322 Discovery Miles 33 220 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Over the past decade there have been major advances in the management of patients with craniofacial trauma. These have been fuelled by new concepts and techniques arising from the elective repair of congenital craniofaciald deformities, and also by the increase in survival after trauma, due to improved resuscitation techniques. More radical approaches to complex problems have been achieved by multidisciplinary teams, with close collaboration between the neurosurgeon, maxillofacial surgeon, otorhinolaryngologist, ophthalmic, plastic, and accident and emergency surgeon. This book is the first to provide a multidisciplinary approach to the management of craniofacial trauma. Each section has been written by a specialist involved in craniofacial trauma, from the point of view of their own particular discipline, and presents vital information on the practical manamgement strategies.

Hier gilt es, moglichst effektive therapeutische MaBnahmen in ktirzester Zeit zu ergreifen. Gerade in Anbetracht der drangenden Zeit ist es von besonderer Be deutung zu wissen, welche der theoretisch moglichen Therapieverfahren von belegter Effektivitat sind, welche nur spekulativen Nutzen fUr den Patienten haben. Wichtigste Aufgabe der hier vorliegenden Monographie ist es deshalb, die vorhandenen therapeutischen Prinzipien unter diesen Gesichtspunkten zu sichten und zu gewichten. Voraussetzung fUr ein gezieltes therapeutisches Handeln ist auch unter NotfaIlbedingungen die Kenntnis der Diagnose. Deswegen kann auch ein "Therapiebuch" nicht ohne SteIlungnahme zur notwendigen ad aquaten Diagnostik in dieser spezieIlen Situation auskommen. 1m hier vorliegenden Buch werden nur "gastroenterologische Notfalle" aufgearbeitet. Dies ist, wie es dem Stil der "Interdisziplinaren Gastro enterologie" entspricht, im gemeinsamen Gesprach zwischen Internisten, Chirurgen und Theoretikern erfolgt. Besonderer Wert wurde auf die Er arbeitung von Richtlinien fUr die praktische Therapie gelegt. In diesem Sinne wurden aIle Abschnitte mit Empfehlungen zur Indikationsstellung und zur Verfahrenswahl beendet, tiber die im Kreise aIler an diesem Seminar teilnehmenden Sachkenner ein Consensus erzielt werden konnte. Die dem groBen Thema angepaBte vergroBerte Herausgeberschaft hofft, daB es auch diesmal wieder wie in den vorausgegangenen Banden der "Interdisziplinaren Gastroenterologie" gelungen ist, einen fUr den praktisch tatigen Arzt ntitzlichen Ratgeber zu schaff en."
